      The death took place on Tuesday, Feb. 21, at his home in the 13th Concession of Wellesley Township of William Calder, a highly respected resident there, aged 83 years, 1 month and 10 days.

      The late Mr. Calder was born in Wellesley Township and when a young man was united in marriage at Dorking to Mary Ann Mewhiney, daughter of the late Alexander and Mrs. Mewhiney of that neighborhood. After their marriage they resided in Mornington Township, near Dorking, for several years and their moved to the 13th Concession of Wellesley where they afterwards made their home. Mrs. Calder passed away about seven years ago. Mr. Calder had been an active member of the Linwood United Church for a number of years and was held in high esteem by his neighbors and friends. A family of five survive, namely: Alvina (Mrs. Joseph Beisinger) of Hesson; Norman of Southampton, Maggie (Mrs. William Lambert) of Dorking, Roy of Dorking and Harold on the homestead. There are also three surviving brothers and one sister: Nathan of Toronto, Archibald of Oshkosh, Wis., Lorenzo of Regina and Mrs. William of Saskatchewan. The late Mr. Calder was in fairly good health up to about three years ago when he was seized with a stroke from which he partially recovered and was able to go about until Sunday morning, when he was taken with another seizure from which he did not rally.

      The funeral will take place from his late home on the 13th Concession line of Wellesley on Friday, Feb. 24, at one oclock, p. m., to the Linwood Union Cemetery.
